Today is mother’s day here
in Trinidad and Tobago and in honor of my mother, this is a throwback picture
that I saved for this day, taken earlier this week from the veranda of one of
the homes she grew up in. Location
Fullerton, Cedros. As a child I visited
many a family member here and have fond memories of interaction with all my
cousins, aunts and uncles. My mother has
16 siblings, two of which are from her dad solely, but the other 14 are from
her mother. My mother spent her youthful
days in Fullerton Village of Cedros, Biche and St. Joseph Maracas. After marrying and having her first child she
moved from Cedros to Point Fortin. I am
happy that I am blessed enough to still have my mother here on earth with me. With me she is, as I also have her residing
with me. As a child you don’t always
agree with your parents, and as a parent, I don’t always agree with my
children, but love her, I do, as I too do love my children. I appreciate her for who she is and what she
has sacrificed for the goodness of our family.
She is the pillar of our family structure and I salute her today and
always…
Happy Mother’s Day to all
the Mom’s, God’s richest blessings upon you always!
